Are we to look for an Alabama version of the Arizona 'paper check'? Police stops will require you provide proof of Baptism...failure to provide proof of Christianity will result in deportation to Mississippi? After 8 years of Gov Riley and the state proving to the world that we are a civilized place, suitable for business, we now have someone who is confirming another negative image of Alabama?

When will those who ignored Nodine's behavior be called to task? It appears that some people knew of his behavior and ignored it...police knew of the stalking, etc. and allowed it. Those who participated in the cover-up should be investigated, disciplined or charged for their part in this situation. If the agencies charged with protecting the public had done their jobs, Ms Downs might be alive.

The days of the good-ole boys taking care of each other seem to be alive and well. It is shameful that police were influenced to ignore Nodine's stalking and abuse of Ms Downs. The persons who agreed to ignore Nodine's actions should be investigated, disciplined and/or charged with the crime of contributing to this lady's murder. Just think, she might still be alive if they had done their jobs instead of agreeing to ignore Nodine's crimes.
